How to Make Silver Jewelry

Sterling and Garnet Disc Earrings Tutorial

Imagine getting a crash course in how to make silver jewelry. 

Check out this earring tutorial and see if it doesn't make metalworking and wire-wrapping seem as easy as pie.

This is a beginner to intermediate tutorial.  If you've had some experience making jewelry, but want start getting into metalwork, this is a great starting point. You'll pierce, wire-wrap, oxidize, ball silver with a torch (optional), and create a brushed patina (also optional).

The hardest part of this gorgeous project is finding the cash to buy all the tools, and finding a jewelry supply to get them from.  If you already have the tools, this project will be a cake-walk.
